Mumbai, June 22: Tata Asset Management today announced the launch of Tata Multi–sector Passive FoF, an open-ended fund of fund (FoF) scheme investing in units of passive equity mutual fund schemes across multiple sectors. The scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation through active allocation to passive sector-oriented funds and ETFs.
The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens for subscription on June 22, 2026, and closes on July 6, 2026.
The equity markets have demonstrated that sector leadership is dynamic and is influenced by changing macroeconomic and global market cycles. Over different phases, sectors such as information technology, pharmaceuticals, PSU banks, infrastructure, realty, manufacturing and consumption have each emerged as market leaders. Identifying these shifts before opportunities are fully priced in remains a challenge for investors.
The Tata Multi–sector Passive FoF aims to address this by employing factors depending upon Fund Manager assessment such as momentum-based allocation framework etc. to invest across sector index funds and ETFs. The strategy may evaluate recent sector performance and adjusts returns for volatility to favour sectors exhibiting relatively stronger and more stable trends, however past sector momentum is not indicative of future results. Portfolio allocations are determined based on sector outlook, momentum characteristics and broader macroeconomic considerations, with higher allocations to sectors demonstrating stronger momentum.
On the launch, Anand Vardarajan, Chief Business Officer at Tata Asset Management, said:
“Diversification through sector allocation is a powerful driver of potential wealth creation, but timing it right is difficult. India’s economic engines shift over time. Trying to chase these cycles often leads to emotional bias and high tax outgo. The Tata Multi Sector Passive FoF offers a disciplined, rules-based framework that removes guesswork. It automatically shifts toward leading sectors via low-cost passive instruments, while utilizing a fund manager’s discretion to capture sudden, event-driven moves. Through a diversified exposure across sectors, dynamic rebalancing and active oversight from our investment team, the scheme aims to help investors benefit from changing market trends.”
By combining a Fund of Funds structure with a low-cost passive architecture, the fund aims to eliminate the emotional bias and timing challenges investors face when managing sector rotation on their own.
Key features of the scheme:
- Built-in Diversification: Spreads risk across multiple underlying sector index funds and ETFs
- Tax Efficiency: Rebalancing within the FoF does not attract capital gains tax for the investor
- Minimum Application Amount: Rs 5,000 and in multiples of Re 1 thereafter
- Load Structure: Entry Load is Not Applicable. Exit Load is 0.50% if redeemed within 30 days of allotment, and Nil thereafter
- Benchmark & Risk: Nifty 500 TRI. The scheme and benchmark riskometers are classified as Very High.
